A second batch of secret data from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s database of athletes who took part in the 2016 Rio Olympics was released by the hacking group Fancy Bears; the list includes 10 ‘doping addicts’ from the US and five more from Britain.

Serena Williams returns a shot to Karolina Pliskova, of the Czech Republic, during the semifinals of the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Thursday, Sept. 8, 2016, in New York.

The hacktivist group Fancy Bears published a second batch of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)’s medical data on athletes who took part in the 2016 Rio Olympic Games.

The publication came just a few days after Fancy Bears leaked alleged WADA documents showing that the agency had allowed US tennis players Serena and Venus Williams, as well as Olympic gold-winning gymnast Simone Biles and basketball star Elena Delle Donne to take banned substances for ‘therapeutic’ purposes.

The second batch includes a total of 25 athletes, including 10 from the United States, five from Germany, five from the United Kingdom, one from the Czech Republic, one from Denmark, one from Poland, one from Romania, and one from Russia.

“The list of doping addicts includes not only the athletes of the top Olympic teams but also those who compete for other countries,” the group said in a statement. The hackers have pledged to go ahead with more leaks.

In particular, the second trove of names includes Dagmara Wozniak, an American sabre fencer who represented the US at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Also on the list is Kathleen Baker, an American swimmer who won one gold medal and one silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics.

On Thursday, the BBC quoted Nicole Sapstead, head of the UK Anti-Doping Agency, as saying that at least 53 “British athletes from the Rio Olympics may be at risk of having their medical details made public.”

The stolen files include those related to three-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome and five-time Olympic gold medalist Sir Bradley Wiggins, according to the BBC.

In July 2016, a WADA commission presented a report in which Russia was accused of running a state-sponsored doping program. Moscow has repeatedly maintained that the findings were falsified, and urged the West to keep politics out of sports.

He recalled in this regard that while Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova was suspended over the use of harmless meldonium, the Williams sisters were allowed by WADA to use painkillers that are commonly prescribed to terminally ill patients.

He said that it is necessary to create a new structure with absolute openness and subject all anti-doping requirements to unified standards.

He was echoed by sports lawyer Artyom Patsev, who underscored the importance of the ethical aspect of the story about American athletes taking banned substances.

We were told about ‘outrageous’ Russian athletes who used meldonium which, as it subsequently turned out, can be excreted for up to a year and which does not have such a strong effect and does not add muscle mass,” he said in an interview with the Russian newspaper Izvestia.

“All these accusations came as US athletes were eating handfuls of steroids. Yes, I do believe that they indeed used them to treat diseases. But then why do you point the finger at the Russian athletes, pretending that you are not involved in using banned drugs?” Patsev asked.

Meanwhile, Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said that the Russian Ministry of Sport will ask law enforcement agencies to provide assistance to WADA with an investigation into the hacking of its confidential database.

He added that it was hard for him to comment on the list of athletes, because it was related to the Olympic Games held by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and it should be dealt with by the IOC and WADA.

The West has more to do with the Hong Kong protest movement than it would like us to know. It’s the ugly face of Washington’s long-standing foreign policy directed at destabilizing one of its long-standing economic foes: China.

The same media that has spent years dragging Assange’s name through the mud is now engaging in a blackout on his treatment. If you are waiting for corporate media pundits to defend freedom of the press, you’re going to be disappointed.

Think about who gets rich off of the Venezuela regime-change agenda. It’s the same people that said we had to invade Iraq in order to prevent nuclear apocalypse. It’s the same people who said the world would stop turning on its axis if we didn’t carpet bomb Libya and Syria.
